I was looking for replacement cartridges for a Lexmark printer, and was asked for around £30 for black ink for an oldish printer. Once the shock had worn off, I looked around and found this printer with ink for about the same. No brainer as far as I was concerned.
Not the quietest or quickest on the market, but the prints are good quality and it appears to be fairly economical. Replacement inks by Canon are reasonable, if not cheap, so I think I will stick with this until it dies. Note that it does not come with a usb cable.
Otherwise, great value printer.
